Fluke vs. Floating Worm...(When/Why/Rigging Secrets) 

I like the Owner centering pin screws in the nose of my flukes with a small #1 VMC wacky nose hooked like a banjo minnow look.

Randy what I love about your channel is you are unapologetically you, and I think that is why your channel will continue to do well, you also know a lot would love a private fishing class maybe oneday

Fluke is my #1 confidence bait spring through fall. Glimmer blue is for sure my most successful color, then albino, Houdini and baby bass. Great video

Man Randy, I love your video's. I could listen to you and Evers all day!

If I was a bass I’d get caught on a floating worm all year long. That’s the best looking bait in the water, damn near makes me hungry lol

Floating worm is killing it right now for me....first time actually fishing it now that I’m down south wow it’s addictive watching them gulp it

Can't wait to try it. I've already caught several including a 6-5 using your big spinnerbait/trailer tip. Thank you for your info and I also enjoy hearing your thoughts/views.

Hey Randy great video(s) . Just a tip I'd like to pass along that helps with rigging any bait (such as a fluke type bait ) with a hook slot you won't need . If you put some swim bait glue in the hook slot and lightly pinch it together until dry it makes rigging on a jighead (or your flufke rigging) so much easier since you you end up with a solid belly don't have to be perfect hitting that thin layer of plastic along the top of the bait with the hook .

I’ve had days y’all would not believe on a yellow and a white trick worm! Mid April through end of may. Like randy said they gotta be in the right mood but when they are hang on!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge God bless you and your family.

Great tips Randy. Thanks from Western Kentucky.

Stoked for the challenge videos - will be good entertainment value on those ! Thanks Randy !! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Was just thinking about this very topic! Timely and informative!

Great tips thanks

Great video Super information keep it up

Darn, wish I would have seen this yesterday morning. Went bank fishing on a clear lake(15ft vis) and the bass are definitely cruising the shallows. Even saw a few true giants hanging around stumps and laydowns. Going back to try these!

Absolutely love flukes. I’ve not tried out a floating worm but I have a few ideas.

Goodmorning Elijah!

My 2 favorite tactics in 1 video. Bombing a $200 swimbait is cool if you're making a fishing hype video. But in reality I'm so focused on not losing that bait it makes me a nervous wreck. I'll take a fluke or trick worm any day over swimbait fishing. Using a elaztic worm doesn't seem to work as well as the trick worm.

Good Video. 👍👍👍

I always have a fluke tied on, recently got a pack of floating worms plan on trying them tomorrow morning

Still here😁loving the insights. Let's do the hat at 75k😁

Thanks for sharing

The fluke is also great when the bass start schooling on top and won’t hit top water lures.

Good video and tips Randy. Thank you. Is the zoom trick worm the only floating worm that you fish?

Which worms float ? They rarely are labeled "floating".

I'm still not sure how to retrieve the floating worm? Please share how to retrieve the floating worm. Thanks

That floating worm catches fish in late summer/early fall too

Hey Randy Do you think I can rig a double floating worm rig, like a double fluke rig? And maybe use two different colors!

Randy, you mentioned a floating worm working best on a south wind. This weekend, I’ll be fishing Santee Cooper, water in the low 70s, visibility 1-3 ft, NE wind early turning into a SE wind afternoon. Full post spawn conditions. Is fishing top water or floating worm/fluke worth the time early or should I focus more deeper structure/cover and focus in fish tight to cover?

ALWAYS keep a spinning rod on deck with just a 4\0 hook just for these 2 lures

Warm wind. Got it

On a floating why does the swivel tangle up

Hi Randy going to try your fluke rigging tip sounds good wanted to ask do you ever use the swimming worm rig and if so how do you rig yours thanks Randy .......

I’ve got a lot of submerged grass/curly pondweed already, just touching the surface of the water. How would you rig the fluke to come through that without the open hook? Thanks. Really enjoy the tips.

Where does the sluggo fit in this lesson? Is it a trick worm or a fluke? Or is it a separate bait with a third set of conditions on when and where to use it?

Cute little lad

Randy 3/0 flippin hook for the fluke also

Great Information Randy. Thanks for the Tips. Just wished that you would have Suggested a Barrel Swivel SIZE. They come in different ones.

Would rigging the fluke like that make it more likely to hook them in the tongue?

Open water/fast fishing..fluke,..... cover/shallow....trick

What about wind direction with a fluke

How'd the stockton lake challenge go?

Randy - what do you use for a leader between the swivel and your worm when using braid main line? Braid or fluorocarbon?
